Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Interesting book yet lacks a voice which can be seen due to the style of writing. There are also issues concerning references which are a little dated to get. A little slow at some points the story moves in several directions yet a good story all in all ( ) I'd been waiting on this one for a while. Finally got my hands on a copy. The first time I read the liner notes of one of their CDs, I thought, this is good stuff, they should write a book. It's where their alter egos, Slim and Howdy came into play. Much to my delight, and I'm sure many other fans, those cowboys surface in a comic crime novel waving a trail of dust and trouble everywhere they go. From their initial chance meeting at a used car lot to the kidnapping of a long-time friend, the two find themsevles in some sticky situations with some morally challenged individuals. And do so with charming wit. The sharp dialogue will have you laughing out loud. Whether or not you're a fan of their music, if you enjoy cowboys, suspense and funny one liners, you're sure to like this. This book was a fun, wild ride. One I didn't want to end. I highly recommend it. It also comes with a bonus CD with the song, "Gotta Get Me One of Those" on it. Love the song! no reviews | add a review
Exclusive CD! Brooks & Dunn's "Gotta Get Me One of Those" inside!Musicians by trade, Slim and Howdy have each come to a figurative crossroads in their lives. As fate would have it, they meet at these crossroads, never realizing it's a turning point in their lives. Forced by circumstances to share a truck, they take to the road in pursuit of a common goal -- to make it as musicians on the country music circuit. But it seems no matter where these two travel, trouble finds them. Whether it's turning the tables on a crooked card shark who takes everything they have, or fending off the raging boyfriend of that friendly gal from last night, the guys are constantly needing to outwit the world. And when their friend and boss Jodie Lee disappears, their resourcefulness will truly be tested. Each of the guys has his theory, but they'll need to work together to get to their friend before time runs out. No library descriptions found. |
